Chapter 630: Spoils of War
The powder barrels on the wagons were covered by rainproof cloths, and the ready-made explosives bags were taken out of the barrels.
The Noxus logistics soldiers did not want the black powder to fall into the hands of the enemy, so they used the gunpowder that was originally intended to smash the city wall to save the situation, which was the order given by Corrie before she died.
However, compared to the Ionians, who were constantly experiencing transcendentals, the disadvantage of this warband was so great that even explosives could not save it.
Seeing that Jeno had discovered the location of their secret weapon, the soldiers all rushed over, trying to save the slightest chance to fight back.
Jeno didn't like to fight, and the strangulation force field was fully open, ignoring the hard armor worn by the soldiers, and directly applied to the fragile spine beneath their armor, twisting and breaking.
Easily breaking the stubborn resistance of the Noxians, Jeno's gaze quickly swept across the battlefield, and some of the soldiers still wanted to carry the black powder away, but Jeno didn't leave them any chance, and preemptively killed the horses pulling the cart.
When the soldiers realized that they could no longer take the black powder with them, they chose to burn the jade and stones, they picked up the burning branches and charged at the carriage full of black powder.
But with the global assistance of Hex, Jeno's marksmanship was as accurate as turning on the lock hanging, and he quickly killed the remaining dozen Noxian soldiers.
After confirming that there was no enemy tricking the corpse, Jeno shook his hand, closed the cannon hole in his palm, and then went to the carriage and carefully examined the black powder.
These black powders have been configured into packets of high explosives, and their main ingredient is mined from the saltpeter mines around the plains of Noxus Loklond, with a pungent smell of sulfur.
The gunpowder in the barrel hadn't been used up much, and when combined, it could have filled three wagons, which was the most valuable trophy Jeno had ever caught in this battle.
If used correctly, it will definitely give Noxus a hard blow in return.
However, the black powder reminded Jeno of the threat facing Shadowstream, who said that a secret Noxus force was planning to blow up the snow cover on Winter Mountain in an attempt to flood the Temple of Shadows.
Could the secret force he mentioned be the one he is encountering now? He felt the need to find out what to do. In this way, once the threat faced by the Shadow Stream is resolved, the strength of the resistance will be improved again after the Shadow Guard led by the Raider is included.
For the rest of the day, Jeno guarded the batch of black powder and didn't go. The battle situation elsewhere has become clear, and Master Yi, who has escaped the Flame Bear, can finally go all out, and the souls of the dead under his sword will be one more in the blink of an eye, and the rebels led by Irelia will unite with the Vastayas of Kasumi to wipe out the remnants of Kori's warband.
Noxus were defeated, but even though defeat was assured, the Noxians stubbornly dragged out the battle until nightfall. By the time the last Noxian soldier had been sliced through by Irelia's sewing and died with unwilling eyes, most of them had burned muscles and swollen arms to the point where they couldn't even lift their weapons.
After half a day of running and hours of intense fighting, the rebels were exhausted. But they still have a very important thing to do, which is to bury the corpses, return the material to the earth, and pray to all souls, that the tender green shoots will soon grow in this war-torn area.
Irelia asked a few of her men, and went to the carriage to find Jeno herself. She wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand, brushed her long soaked hair, and frowned at the corpses around the carriage.
"This land does not accept these blood-stained iron tools, and when we buried the corpses, we took off those weapons and armor, what should we do?"
"You can use the weapon when you pick it up, and if you have armor, then take it and melt it and rebuild it, otherwise you will be chopped up by your own people as soon as you wear the enemy's armor before you wait for the battlefield. By the way, Presidium should have a furnace to digest this batch of equipment, right? ”
"Uh-huh... This one is still there. Irelia remembered the walls and fences that Jeno had been emphasizing for the past two days, and her face flushed with shame, her fingers trembled a little, and the blade floating behind her swayed, threatening to fall at any moment.
She is an invincible knife on the battlefield, but once she is outside the battlefield, she cannot maintain her unrivaled courage and self-confidence.
"It's a pity that there is no legendary blacksmith like Master Dolan." Yi also rushed over with his helmet, he had come to ask Jeno for a fountain of life for his beloved disciple Goku's injuries.
His piercing sword was still dripping with blood, and no matter how good the sword was, it would gradually corrode by the blood, even if it was imperceptible. Yi, who cherished the sword, did not wipe the blood on the blade of the sword for the first time, which was enough to see how much he attached importance to Wukong.
"Master Dolan is also a person I admire very much, and only the artifact created by the legendary King of the Mountains in the Ice Fields can surpass it."
Jeno believed in Yi very much, and because he didn't know how badly Goku was injured, he directly gave him a whole bottle of the Fountain of Life for Yi to use.
"Thank you." Yi bowed deeply, then turned into an afterimage and hurried to the place where the Vastayas had assembled.
Jeno saw the still bright light of the fire in the sky and realized that he had something else to attend to.
He told Irelia to come to the carriage and showed her the loot inside, telling her what it was useful and how dangerous it was.
"Irelia, it's getting dark. Now you go and clean up the battlefield and collect the wounded, and then take the Vastayas back to Presidon first, and remember to bring our trophies with you. ”
"I understand." Irelia remembered that the blood on her knife had congealed, and she wanted to go back to clean the tainted blade sooner, but she would not be able to return to Presidon for a while.
The forest was still filled with the smell of charcoal fire and gunsmoke, as well as the blood that gradually dissipated, telling the two that their victory was not easy.
In order to exterminate this Noxian warband of 5,000 people, Vastaya paid the price of the lives of nearly 1,000 people. If you listen closely, you can hear their sad cries among the branches.
Jeno heard a loud roar faintly coming from the forest, as if calling him.
"What's the matter, Sindra doesn't seem to be able to turn Tiebs back until now, is it so hard to coax a child?" Jeno muttered, then walked towards the scorched earth.
"Are you going to deal with that flaming bear? It was dangerous, and the magic burned on it. Irelia heard Jano muttering in a whisper, and couldn't help but remind Jano.
